Dave Moody is a music artist, songwriter, producer and filmmaker with numerous industry awards and peer acknowledgments to his credit. As a member of The Moody Brothers, he earned two Grammy Award nominations in the '80s, and spent most of the '90s in Paris, France working for The Walt Disney Company.

Dave returned home in the new millennium and produced a solo album which set in motion a string of 19 Dove Award nominations (the Christian Music Grammys) and established Dave as a respected industry professional. In 2005 and 2006, he won multiple Dove Awards for his music and productions. Then in 2007, the Gospel Music Association put him at the top of that year's most nominated list with eight Dove nominations, including recognition for his publishing company in the coveted Song of the Year category. Later that year, Dave turned some of his attention to filmmaking, first as a composer for the film, Stuck In The Past. His music won high praise from reviewers and critics, and earned the film the "Best Musical Award" at the Creation Arts Film Festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Then in the summer of 2007, he produced, directed, co-wrote and scored the Moody family's first feature film, Praise Band: The Movie. To date, this movie has won the "Best Music Film Award" at the 2008 International Christian Film Festival in Irvine, CA and was nominated for "Best Premiere Production" at the International Saboath Film Festival in Milan, Italy. It took 2nd Place Best Picture honors at the BCIFF in Houston, TX and has been awarded the Dove Foundations Family-Approved Seal. The movie airs on numerous syndicated television networks.

The Moody's second film, No Limit Kids: Much Ado About Middle School, features Hollywood veteran Bill Cobbs and Golden Globe nominee Lee Meriwether and was release in the Fall of 2010. Moving Pictures Film and Television, part of ICAP Media Group, secured the international rights to distribute the film worldwide.
